Question 2

What is the output of the below code for input num = 15?

C++

C
unsigned int fun(unsigned int n) {  unsigned int count = 0;  while (n) {  count += n & 1;  n >>= 1;  }  return count; } 
Java
public class Main {  public static int fun(int n) {  int count = 0;  while (n != 0) {  count += n & 1;  n >>= 1;  }  return count;  } } 
Python
def fun(n): count = 0 while n: count += n & 1 n >>= 1 return count 
JavaScript
function fun(n) {  let count = 0;  while (n) {  count += n & 1;  n >>= 1;  }  return count; } 
  • 15

What is the output of the below expression? 

000111 | 01010
  • 0000000

  • 00

  • 010111

  • None

Question 6

Bitwise & can be used in conjunction with ~ operator to turn off 1 or more bits in a number.

  • True

  • False

Question 7

If we have to add two numbers without having any carry, which bitwise operator should be used?

  • Bitwise OR |

  • Bitwise AND &

  • Bitwise NOT ~

  • None

Question 8

Predict the output:

C++
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() {  int x = -5;  x = x >> 1;  cout << x << endl;  return 0; } 
C
#include <stdio.h> int main() {  int x = -5;  x = x >> 1;  printf("%d\n", x);  return 0; } 
Java
public class Main {  public static void main(String[] args) {  int x = -5;  x = x >> 1;  System.out.println(x);  } } 
Python
# x is initialized to -5 x = -5 # Right shift operation x = x >> 1 # Print the result print(x) 
JavaScript
// x is initialized to -5 let x = -5; // Right shift operation x = x >> 1; // Print the result console.log(x); 
  • -2

  • -3

  • Error

  • -1

Question 9

What is the output of the below code?

C++
#include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; int main() {  if (~0 == 1)  cout << "Yes";  else  cout << "No"; } 
C
#include <stdio.h> int main() {  if (~0 == 1)  printf("Yes");  else  printf("No");  return 0; } 
Java
public class Main {  public static void main(String[] args) {  if (~0 == 1)  System.out.println("Yes");  else  System.out.println("No");  } } 
Python
if ~0 == 1: print("Yes") else: print("No") 
JavaScript
if (~0 === 1)  console.log("Yes"); else  console.log("No"); 
  • Yes 

  • No

  • Error

  • None

Question 10

What will the below code do?

C++
void function(int& num, int pos)  {  num |= (1 << pos);  } 
C
void setBit(int* num, int pos) {  *num |= (1 << pos);  } 
Java
void setBit(int[] num, int pos) {  num[0] |= (1 << pos);  } 
Python
def set_bit(num, pos): return num | (1 << pos) 
JavaScript
function setBit(num, pos) {  return num | (1 << pos); } 
  • divide num by pos.

  • Multiply num by pos.

  • Add num with pos.

  • set the given position (pos) of a number (num).
